Microscope 8 Dec 2010


We have had this microscope for a few years and I would bring it out once in a while to show the boys the microscopic view of things - mainly insects. Looking at ants' antennae and hairy legs are a favourite.


Fai took off the top eyepiece with 10x magnification and examined a dead cricket. Maybe I should get him diamonds next.


Took a kadok leaf, tore a small bit off, crushed it a little to hopefully expose the plant cells, then looked through the microscope.

I couldn't really take a good photo of it. If you look closely, you should be able to see the rigid cell wall.

Sorry I won't be able to help. I got mine from a toys warehouse sale 4 years ago.
